Solar Eclipse 2019

The annual solar eclipse on Thursday was witnessed by millions of people across the world. Many temples in India were closed in line with the rituals. The last solar eclipse of the year and of the decade began around 8 am today in various parts of the world. In India, the partial eclipse can be seen from South India including Chennai,  Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka and also in Delhi.

During the solar eclipse, the moon will cover the sun blocking the light and forming a ring-like structure around the sun known as ‘ring of fire.’ The eclipse occurs when Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, totally or partly obscuring the Sun for a viewer on Earth. Those who want to witness the eclipse then experts have warned against viewing the natural phenomenon with bare eyes and suggested specific instruments used for this purpose.
